That's an interesting perspective. Windows 8.1 felt much more stable than Windows 10. Even on a fresh Windows 10 install, I had to make sure to restart explorer.exe at least once a day, if not every couple of hours, to ensure I didn't start getting random "UI lag". Never had to do that before Windows 10. Windows 10 also didn't solve the problem of half of the settings being in some sort of MetroUI and the other half being in traditional Win32 forms.
